This is a fast nutritious main or side dish to have for either lunch or dinner. It is delicious and satisfying over hot white or brown rice or even any noodles you may have. The brown sauce is pretty close to what you may have with your Chinese takeout orders. Tofu provides your protein and the peppers and mushrooms your source of antioxidants to fight the cold and flu spreading around during these cold days.
